Further, the bill expands the prohibitors for concealed carry qualifications.<\/p>\n<p>Gun owners may remember the \u201cassault weapon\u201d ban battle from a few years ago, where a similar bill failed to become law. That victory took a tremendous effort from gun owners, and it will take another impressive effort to stop this new attack.<\/p>\n<p>While GOA will fight these bills every step of the way, it is possible &#8212; due to the anti-gun, Democrat-controlled General Assembly &#8212; that these bills make it to the Governor\u2019s desk. Then, it will be up to Republican Glenn Youngkin to veto the legislation.<\/p>\n<p>So, what can you do to stop this gun control?<\/p>\n<p>First, call Gov. Glenn Youngkin at (804) 786-2211 and urge him to veto legislation like HB2\/SB 2 as well as any other gun control the General Assembly may pass.<\/p>\n<p>Then, make plans to attend <a href=\"https:\/\/vcdl.org\/events\/EventDetails.aspx?id=1715835&amp;group=\">VCDL\u2019s Lobby Day on January 15th in Richmond<\/a> where you can interface in person with your representatives.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for taking action!<\/p>\n<p>In liberty,<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Stein<br \/>\nCertified Firearms Instructor<br \/>\nSoutheast Region Director<br \/>\nGun Owners of America<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunowners.org\/va11272023\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAssault Weapon\u201d Ban Bills Introduced Call Gov.
